Modern Life
Depression
Drug problem
Clean and sober
Second chance?
You Answer yes to a certain question in a tiny box
They Answer no
We regret to inform you
Future looks dim
Waiting tables starts to kill your faith in humanity
Waiting on drunks
Starting down the road to prostitution
Turn your ignition in the closed garage before you turn a trick
Turning tricks
Sounds like child's play
Euphemisms help to rationalize and hide the truth
Help people get through the day
Mountains of money also do the trick
Blood money - not a cushy euphemism
High powered men don't seem to mind
Cash is king
Modern king makes human Barbie Doll his queen
Frozen faces and placid lives filled with poison
The modern way to dye your shoes to match your gown
Barbie sugar coats the world for her perfect children
High fructose corn syrup sticks to their feet
They fall flat on their face
If only they had learned the art of chase
They don't chase after dreams
Instead they soak their unnaturally clean skin in creams
The only chase they know is the bank
An art called finance has no emotion, not even the personality of a school house prank
hey! i really like this. i like the complexity and depth of your words. the feeling of hopelessness was present throughout. you decribe that feeling well and the irony that goes with it. my favorite line is "The modern way to dye your shoes to match your gown"...so true. Seriously great job on this. ~Jason
